Absolute Maxim um Ratings(Note 1) Recommended Operating
Conditions
Note 1: Absol ut e maximum ratings are thos e v alues beyond whi c h damage
to the dev ice may occ ur. The databoo k specific ations sh ould be m et, with-
out exc eption, to e nsure that the system des ign is reliable over its power
supply, temperature, and output/input loading variables. Fairchild does not
recommend operation of FACT circuit s outside dat abook specif ic at ions.
